Moment In Time

A week ago last Friday, February 24th, at 5:30 PM, I packed up my laptop and walked out of my office for the last time. After a two week notice, I quit my job of 25+ years. In short, I had retired.

As so many had done before, I got up early the next day and took several photographs of the sky as morning was breaking; just to record the dawn of a new beginning in my life. This is the image I like best.

Yeah, I know the old saying of, “Red in the morning, Sailor take warning.” However, it is not I who should heed the warning, but life in general. As a newly retired person, who never grew up to become a “grup” but stayed a kid in his thinking, has now become free to roam once again. That is, within the realm of space that my wife of 43 years has given to the man who loves her still, and who appreciates her standing with him all these years.

Yeah, I am retired. I may or may not take on a part-time job somewhere down the road. That is a decision yet to be made. I guess it all depends on what God has in store for me. For now, He has given me some precious free time to enjoy life as I like and to do those things that I’ve been wanting to do.

So, look out world, the “kid” is loose once again and he plans on having fun in, this, his world, and you are welcome to enjoy it with him… :-)

The Reason for Riff's Photography Journal

The purpose of this journal is to show that you can find something of interest to photograph even if you don't leave your own yard.

There are photographic opportunities everywhere you look and they are there just waiting for you to find them. The only requirement is that you have to be looking for those opportunities or you will never see them.

Photography is for anyone who wants to capture images for any reason, and if you cannot have fun with photography then why do it.

So, come along. Enjoy the journey and have fun with your camera. Photograph your world the way that you see it and create those images that you will keep for ever. I know that I do.
